Phase 2 of documentation restructuring. Creates docs/reference/ with: Services (16): - alloy, argocd, borgmatic, 1password, forgejo, grafana - jellyfin, kiwix, loki, miniflux, navidrome, postgresql - prometheus, teslamate, transmission, zot Infrastructure (3): - hosts - Device inventory - tailscale - ACLs, groups, tags - routing - DNS domains and port mappings Kubernetes (2): - cluster - Minikube specs - apps - ArgoCD application registry Storage (2): - sifaka - Synology NAS configuration - backups - Backup policy All cards use wiki-links for cross-referencing and include YAML frontmatter with title and tags for Quartz.

# Grafana Alloy
|
|
|
|
Unified observability collector for metrics and logs with two deployments:
|
|
1. **Indri (host)** - System metrics and service logs from macOS host
|
|
2. **Kubernetes (DaemonSet)** - Automatic pod log collection and service health probes
|
|
|
|
## Quick Reference
|
|
|
|
| Property | Value |
|
|
|----------|-------|
|
|
| **Indri Binary** | `~/.local/bin/alloy` |
|
|
| **Indri Config** | `~/.config/grafana-alloy/config.alloy` |
|
|
| **K8s Namespace** | `alloy` |
|
|
| **K8s Image** | `grafana/alloy:v1.8.2` |
|
|
| **ArgoCD App** | `alloy-k8s` |
|
|
|
|
## Metrics Collected
|
|
|
|
### From Indri
|
|
- System metrics via `prometheus.exporter.unix`
|
|
- Textfile collector: `minikube.prom`, `borgmatic.prom`, `zot.prom`, `jellyfin.prom`
|
|
- Zot registry metrics from `http://localhost:5050/metrics`
|
|
- Pushed to [[prometheus\|Prometheus]] via remote_write
|
|
|
|
### From Kubernetes
|
|
- All pod logs via `loki.source.kubernetes`
|
|
- Service health probes: miniflux, kiwix, transmission, devpi, argocd
|
|
|
|
## Logs Collected
|
|
|
|
**Brew services:** forgejo, tailscale
|
|
|
|
**mcquack LaunchAgents:** alloy, borgmatic, zot, jellyfin
|
|
|
|
Logs pushed to [[loki\|Loki]] at `https://loki.tail8d86e.ts.net/loki/api/v1/push`.
|
|
|
|
## Why Built from Source
|
|
|
|
The Homebrew bottle uses `CGO_ENABLED=0`, which breaks Tailscale MagicDNS. Building with `CGO_ENABLED=1` uses the macOS native resolver.
